Guys,

I’m thinking of swapping out the windshield washer in my ‘06 with one from a ‘20. Is there somewhere I could look up how many amps each of these umps draws? I’m worried about the new pump burning out the fuse.

what is the point/goal of this mod?

 

His washer doesn’t get that high up the windshield-from his past posts.

Just my hunch…there’s a hiding crack in the line before they split or the hoses are just loose enough to let air in.

If those hoses are factory installed, I’d replace those first. That pump is fully submerged in fluid, so it shouldn’t be losing prime that way.

 

Both washer pumps will draw less than 10 amps
Do NOT worry about the fuse or melting any wiring
It takes about 2 amps to run a washer pump

 

I am with the opinion that the old hoses need to be inspected. In the last couple years I had to replace the tee where the pass and driver side hoses meet, then I had to remove the driver side nozzle and clean it with compressed air and pumped out some fluid while it was removed to make sure there was no crud in.the lines. I never found the crud but after cleaning it it's back up to normal operation.
TLDR go over the basics again.

 

Oh and I guess I would tend.to think if the pump has been replaced multiple times already with no improvement that like I said the problem is a restricted line, or the voltage and ground at the pump need to be checked, make sure it's getting full juice.
I just don't see a later model pump being an upgrade
